Anonymous Donations
“Dark Money”
The Kindling That Starts The Fire
Of Political Corruption
Is This The Political Scam Of The Century?
Benefacts (formally The Irish Nonprofits Project) was an independent nonprofit established in 2014 to create a comprehensive, publicly accessible database tracking financial, governance, and funding data for Ireland’s nonprofit sector—including charities, NGOs, and other civil society organizations. Closed Down in Feb 2022
Just in time for the Ukranians arrivals and without a doubt the politicians knew what was coming as they lined up to create the far right theoretic to divert from what they were really at, become multimillionaires and destroying our country with mass immigration.
What an idea, hid the money in Charities and NGO’s and get involved in, mass immigration, deception, tax evasion, money warehousing, lies, censorship, selling off our media, propaganda, greed, corruption, regardless of the long term consequence even for even their own families or grandchildren who will undoubtedly be a minority race in Ireland in just few more years. Does this bother them, obviously not. Maybe their own young families or young party members might need to address this startling fact to them before its too late.
What A Coincidence
The EU activated the Temporary Protection Directive on 4 March 2022, which allowed Ukrainians (and certain others residing in Ukraine before the invasion) to enter EU countries, including Ireland, without a visa and receive immediate protection, work rights, and supports.Ukrainian refugees began arriving in Ireland in early March 2022, with the first notable numbers registered soon after the directive’s activation.
- Official Central Statistics Office (CSO) data tracks arrivals via Personal Public Service Numbers (PPSNs) issued under temporary protection.
- By late May 2022, over 33,000 had arrived (with PPSNs issued).
We were told they would be 20,000.
Philanthropic Organisation
Philanthropy for who and for what purpose?
This is a good name for charities or NGO’s who can seemingly operate and collect millions and hide their donors, support and facilitate anonymous donations and anonymous Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), as stated in various sources connected to their operations and model.
The more I read about this the more mental it is, a complete and utter scam to hide money and use it for whatever purpose you like.
The contribution is irrevocable—you get an immediate tax deduction (in Ireland, under relevant tax relief rules like section 848A of the Taxes Consolidation Act, often up to certain limits for individuals).
The funds are invested (tax-free growth in many cases), and you can recommend grants to charities over time—though the sponsor has final approval to ensure compliance with charitable purposes. Options include named funds, anonymous ones, endowed (permanent), spend-down (time-limited), or flow-through (quick distribution).
Advantages – This is completely off the wall
Immediate deduction at the time of contribution, even if grants are made years later; potential avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciated assets.
- Tax benefits: Immediate deduction at the time of contribution, even if grants are made years later; potential avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciated assets.
- Flexibility and simplicity: Easier and cheaper than setting up a private foundation—no need for complex administration, legal setup, or ongoing compliance burdens.
- Control and legacy: Donors advise on grants, involve family, and plan strategically (e.g., for long-term impact or responding to needs over time).
- Privacy: Many allow anonymous giving, which can protect donor identity for personal or strategic reasons.
- In Ireland, DAFs via community foundations like Community Foundation Ireland (CFI) are promoted as low-cost, flexible alternatives to direct giving or private foundations, often with minimums around €25,000 (or lower net after tax relief).
Criticisms and Concerns
No legal requirement to distribute funds within a set time—leading to accusations of “warehousing” money
- Lack of mandatory payout: Unlike private foundations (which often require annual distributions), DAFs have no legal requirement to distribute funds within a set time—leading to accusations of “warehousing” money indefinitely, delaying charitable impact, and allowing tax-subsidized assets to sit unused.
- Transparency issues: Aggregate data on grants and payouts is reported by sponsors, but individual donor identities, specific recommendations, or account-level details are often not public—especially with anonymous funds. Critics argue this creates “dark money” in philanthropy, reducing accountability and making it hard to trace influence.
Anonymous DAFs can fund causes (e.g., advocacy, social issues) without public knowledge of donor motives - Potential for influence without scrutiny: Anonymous DAFs can fund causes (e.g., advocacy, social issues) without public knowledge of donor motives, raising questions about hidden agendas, ideological pushes, or even foreign influence in some global debates.
- Inequity and effectiveness: Some reports highlight that DAFs disproportionately benefit high-net-worth donors (with large tax breaks), while payout rates can be low overall, and there’s limited direct engagement between donors and recipient charities.
- Globally (especially in the US), DAFs have faced calls for reforms like minimum payout rules or more disclosure.
All of this going on in the background of our Irish society and we had no idea.
This is beyond corruption it is ruthless act of deceit, and has the potential to be highly dangerous in so many ways. Covering up, political interference, and influence, socially engineering, large-scale efforts to influence or reshape societal norms, attitudes, demographics, policies, or cultural structures—typically through funding, advocacy, education, or media channels—without broad public consent or transparency.
An act of societal deceit
In my opinion, this is a blatant act of societal deceit, a deliberate, large-scale form of deception across the whole of Irish society. The long term consequence of this deceit could be detrimental to our nation.
What are the politicians hiding?
There must be a legal route for Irish people to stop this corruption and madness. This reflects a true vision of the EU in 2026, curropt to the core, operates like a mafia cartel cowardly in the dark behind its citizens.
Facilitators – Are Responsible
At the end of the day these agencies owners who have received the money are the people who pull the trigger and fire the bullet to send the money on its way to do whatever is done with it.
They are taking in donations under the guise of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) but they themselves are not lawmakers. Taking in money in the money is the only law working here, these laws do not give any legal right to misuse the money.
That “money becomes the law” in practice, where donor preferences heavily influence grant decisions, potentially shaping societal priorities (e.g., on social issues, advocacy, or policy-adjacent causes) in ways that bypass broader public input or accountability.
Donor influence without democratic mandate
But still the facilitator are ultimately responsible for putting the final stage of the
This cannot continue, the facilitators hold no political power to inject this type of influence into our society. Ireland has no targeted DAF reforms; oversight remains general charity regulation.
Anonymity as a shield
While sponsors report aggregate grants and purposes publicly, individual donor details often stay private (for so called legitimate reasons like safety/privacy),creating opacity that critics call “dark money” in philanthropy.
Mafia Cartels
That safety/privacy is the key to their success, this is exactly how mafia cartels work in the world. These facilitators are the ones responsible without them this could not work, they send the money on its way.
It has all the signs of money laundering and influencing political and social decision with no elected political mandate.
